12 Volt source for Boost Solenoid

Spunkster or Hondata,

Would Pin A25 be a good source for the switched 12 volts to activate the boost control solenoid ? The other side would be going to pin A11

Thanks

No, don't wire anything into the ECU power or ground wires. If you test pins on the fuse box you can often find an unused terminal with switched 12V.

Hoping you can feed some input, I wired up my AEM solenoid for my S300, Hooked up everything as it should be.. 12 volts switched and A11 on the ECU for the other wire. My question is: Even though I did not enable PWM in my S300, I heard the solenoid either click open or something when i turned the key to start position .. I touched the solenoid and it felt warm.. It only has an initial click when i turn the key..

Don't connect the solenoid to the ECU without enabling the PWM output.

I tried it both ways .. enabling as well, and continues to "click" as soon as I turn the key
